3 things to consider when incorporating a flat roof design.

Incorporating a flat roof line is a great way to achieve a modern and contemporary design to your home. Here are 3 things to consider:

1. Snow Load: climate and snowfall can vary between regions in Ontario. It’s critical that the structure is adequately engineered to carry snow loads that are concurrent with your region.

2. Cladding the Parapet: the cumulative structural materials required for a flat roof can substantially contribute to the height of the parapet, posing the need for careful consideration of cladding materials. Pictured above, we’ve installed ACM to accomplish a flawless, smooth, ripple-free surface.

3. Use of Space: a flat roof can create additional usable space for a home: outdoor patio, live roof, cleverly concealed solar panels.
